The iMums blog was founded by the Australian iMum Amanda, and we are very pleased announce the third in our series of iPad Mini giveaways sponsored by four great Australian developers- who make great educational apps -demografix, Wasabipro, Pic-See, and Sneaky Sam Productions. The iPad mini is a great size for children – lighter and easier to carry than the original iPad, but with access to the same great catalog of apps. The prize package, which totals to over $400, includes all you need to get started:-

Introducing our sponsors:

demografix is an Australian based app developer founded in 2011. It creates high quality educational apps with targeted resources for each geographical area, such as the correct school fonts.

Ghost Type is an effective, functional and fun typing app for all students (and adults) and all classrooms should have access to this amazing app. School Writing is a fully-customizable, feature-packed app for working on writing of letters and numbers using a choice of school fonts on the iPad. It also lets you create your own lessons on the iPad using both written and audio instructions as well as your own images.

Wasabipro. Wasabi Productions is an independent publisher of original, high-quality storybook apps designed for touch screen technology. Born in Australia, and one of the first publishers of interactive children’s books for the iPad, they are still as passionate today as they were with their first project. Their vision is to entertain preschoolers with tales of memorable characters where the reader’s interaction is central to progressing the story. They create stories with a moral or social outtake, that evoke the imagination, involve, delight and inspire young readers – helping them learn about language and life while enjoying meaningful and fun together time with their families. Their iPad apps have just been updated to include text highlighting, they’re all 100% family-friendly and educational as well as entertaining. The iMums have reviewed Lazy Larry Lizard, Look Out Larry! and Lost Larry and Ten Giggly Gorillas . To learn more about Wasabipro, check out our developer interview.

Pic-See was founded by a Provisional Psychologist and Special Needs Teacher who had a dream of creating an easy to use app that would help parents, carers, therapists and special needs teachers around the world to deliver visual schedules to individuals with early, special and specific learning needs. Pic-See aims to cut down on the time spent currently preparing visual supports and return this time to the relationships, learning and development of children. Pic-See is an interactive and incentive driven visual communication system for children with early special or specific learning needs. It contains a choice board, emotion center and a visual schedule.To learn more about Pic-See, check out our developer interview.We also have a giveaway currently running for Pic-See and Pic-See Collective, you can enter here.

Sneaky Sam Productions was founded by Josh Stewart a Sydney based father of three. Their first app Sneaky Sam was written by Josh and charmingly illustrated by award-winning illustrator Binny Talib. Binny’s original artwork uses organic ink & wood grain bringing a unique textural experience to the digital platform. Sneaky Sam has been nominated for a Cybils Award 2012, was shortlisted in the Qantm Design Awards 2012 & has just been given Best iOS Kids App by AppMyWorld. The first app has been so well received that a sequel is well & truly on the cards! You can read The iMums review of Sneaky Sam, and learn more about the developer in our developer interview.

I live in the US and it would be impossible to pick a favorite book, as I am a complete book hound! If I had to choose, it would either be “How to Raise a Sensory Smart Child,” or Temple Grandin’s “Thinking in Pictures.” Both taught me so much about my daughter…and myself!
